Noordkasteelbrug, Railway bridge in northern Antwerp, Belgium
Noordkasteelbrug is a railway bridge in northern Antwerp that carries multiple tracks across the Oosterweelsteenweg and Amerikadok waterway. It functions as a key connection point linking rail lines that serve the port area and routes to inland destinations.
This bridge was constructed during the 20th century expansion of Belgian railway infrastructure as Antwerp's port grew significantly. It was built to connect the expanding port facilities with the national rail network that moved cargo inland.
The bridge structure represents traditional Belgian engineering methods, incorporating local architectural elements that characterize the region's industrial heritage.
This bridge is located in an active industrial zone with regular train traffic, so stay aware of your surroundings. The best way to view it is from nearby streets or observation points, as direct access to the bridge itself is limited.
This bridge handles hundreds of trains daily moving containers and cargo through one of Europe's busiest ports. Few visitors realize how much this everyday piece of infrastructure enables modern European trade and commerce.
